Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or sorts:
“Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Would you not like to try all sorts of lives—one is so very small—but that is the satisfaction of writing—one can impersonate so many people.”
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
